What to expect
Her father may have sacrificed his own life to save hers, but heiress Gloria Meriwether-Astor is finding it difficult to forgive him. After all, how many young ladies of her acquaintance will inherit wealth, beauty, and a legacy of arms dealing? Now the Royal Kingdom of Spain and the Californias is about to declare war on the Texican Territory and Gloria simply will not allow it.
In company with Alice Chalmers and the crew of Swan, along with a lost young Evan Douglas seeking to make reparation for his own sins, she takes to the air. Her intention—to stop the train carrying the final shipment of monstrous mechanicals into the Wild West. But they should have known that making a deal with air pirate Ned Mose in exchange for his help could never end well.
Includes Devices Brightly Shining, a bonus three-hour prequel to Fields of Air!
Critics Review
“Gloria doesn’t have to make any hard choices. But she makes them anyway…because they’re right, because of principle, because of morality…Gloria’s is ultimately the most unselfish path and that is unexpected.”
“A brave and talented author who looks at the darkness as well as the light.”
“An immensely fun book in an immensely fun series with some excellent antisexist messages, a wonderful main character and a great sense of Victorian style.”
“For those who like the melding of Victorian culture with the fantasy of reality-bending science fiction, this one will be right up their alley.”
